Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s choice of words to describe a madman’s knife wielding rampage in the heart of Melbourne, which killed one wonderful Australian and injured two other fellow countrymen, as “radical, violent and extremist Islam” demonstrates his leadership immaturity and cheap vote catching tactics at a time when his political party is losing its appeal with Australian voters.
